OBITUARY.

How often do our hearts grow sad and
talnt at the mysterious dispensation OF
an lnscrutable but merciful Providence?
When we are called to take long fare
well OF those who are so near and dear
to us, by all the ties of affection, the
world grows dark and sad around us; and
our pathway through life would be dark
and gloomy were it not for the glorious
radiance that the Star of Bethlehem
sheds us, while the finger ofhope points
us to the beautiful gate, where our loved
! ones watching and waiting to welcome
US home. Such have been our reflections
while meditating on the death of our
dear friend Mrs. Harriet Wright, the
wife of Mr.Simeon Wright, wEo departed
this life February 18th, 1887. in the 87th
year of her age. She was a loving wife,
kind and affectionate mother kind
and good neighbor, was loved by all who
knew her. She leaves a husband and
five children to mourn her death. Dur
ing her illness she expressed her willing
ness to die, saying "she loved the Savior
and had nothing to fear" May all her
friends and relatives SO live, that like
her, they may not, falter, but say let us
pass over the river and rest under the
shade.
Asleep in Jesus blessed sleer,
From whence none ever wakes to weep,
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.

BINGHAM AGAIN.

BINGHAM AGAIN.
We clip the following from the
Raleigh Neoos-Obaerver. We will
simply say we don't believe that
Bingham has been nearer this Sec
ton since the murder of Miss Lii
lington than Greensboro, in his
flight from the scene of the horrible
outrage he perpetrated
"It seems that the reports about
Bingham's having been seen in the
Western part of the State are about
to prove to be more than sensation
al. A late special to the Durham
Tobacco Plant from Waynesville
says: Further developments tend
to confirm the report that Walter
Bingham has recently been in this
immediate section, and the proba-
bilities are that he not very far from
here to-day. In the fastnesses of Wess
tern, N. c., mountainous country,
be would stand a better chance OF
permanently evading arrest than at
any other place he could utilize for
that purpose, and it is altogether
reasonable to presume that he is
endeavoring to do so. The deaf
mute who has been seen by several
persons in this vicinity, as publish
ed III the last issue of the Plant, is
more than probably the man so
badly wanted. Search is being made
and it is rumored that the New
York Herald has at last taken hold
of the case and that two of that
papers detective>reporters are now
on their way here. Indeed, they
may already be in this section for
aught any one knows; their disguise,
of course, being sufficient to prevent
recognition"

RALEIGH. N. Marcel

RALEIGH. N. c.. March l.
In the Senate last night a substitute
passed its second reading, in lieu Of
bill and substitute now before the
legislature concerning the Brncombe
stock law, providing that the six town
ships placed under the stock law by the
act of 1885, without vote, should remain
just as they were; that three of the other
seven should almost entirely be
taken out from under the stock
law. These remain in statu quo, and
the other four, upon petition of a +uG-
jority of the voters of any of them, 70
the county commissioners. shall have
the right to vote upon the question, and
come out by majority vote. This is the
substitute of the Senate branch of the
conference committee offered as a COM
promise between the two extremes, and
leaves all the townships, except three,
just as the law of 1885 placed them.
To-day this bill passed its third read
ing.
The Senate to-day took up the rev.
enue bill. 1t adopted many amendments
thereto, the chief of which were taxing
newspapers $40 for each lottery
advertisement published taxing
hunting and sporting clubs 500 !;
clubs where games are played and
refreshments sold $50, and clubs
where games are played $25. The tax
rate was fixed at 20 cents on property
and 60 cents on the poll, just as the
House passed the bill.
A proviso was added to the section in
regard to the merchants purchase tax ::
"But no such tax shall be collected on
goods taxed ad valorem." The section
allowing home merchants rebate and
drummers license was stricken out.
The House passed the Machinery Act
without amendmen; ialso a bill fixing
the number ofGrand Jurors at 10 instead
of 1S. ,
The bill to established an Agliclltura
and Mechanical College was discussed
at length. As passed it was considera
bly, emasculated. The experiment ssfarm
was abolishedin its present shape, and
attached to the college. The interest on
the. land script fund is to be taken from
University and given to the College,,

HOUSES OF CoRREoT1oN.


We are glad to note that Senator Shaw
and Representative Osborne have in
trodlced bills looking to the establish
ment of Houses of Correction, or similar
institutions, for the correction and re-
formation of offenders against the law
who ale beginners: in crime, and work
houses should follow, for those of ripe
years, vagrants, idlers and loafers-
without any visiable means oflivelihood
There should be some provision, by
which this largely increasing class, who
are neither ornamental or useful, should
be compelled to render the city some
service, in working on rock pile, or the
streets, and roads leading into the city,
There are too many of this class in the
city, who toll not-and have their rations
regularly served out to them from the
back windows of Kitchens, or who live on
the proceeds of the wash tub-run by
their more industrious women. A choice
collection could be gathered any day

1t is not often that travellers are
treated 10 such an experience as
that which on Thursday night fell
to the lot of the passengers on a
train between New Y ork and Boston.
First three confidence men who
were on board swindled young
man at cards, and, in spite OF the
efforts OF the other passengers, the
rascals escaped. Then the train
struck and killed night watchman,

sion of the steam heater in a car,

The Pension Bill would have re-
quired an annual tax of $75,OO0,OOO
of which heSouth would haye had
to pay 26 per cent, or $19,000,000.
That is the tax Mr.. Randall would
have imposed on this section, not
from any love of the soldier, but to
save the tariff. That vote measures
his good will and exposes his hyp-
ocrisy. On all important measures
on which the parties have divided
Mr.. Randall is found in the Repub-
lican camp. Why? Because he is
sent to represent Republican inter-
ests, and his continuance in Cons

THE POLICE NECESSITIES OF AsHEvILLE
The police force of AkheFille numbers
one Chief and six pollcemeas divided into
a night and day watch. The corporate
limits of the city of Asheville, are located
as follows:
Beginning in a crevice of large sack
marked with letters A. &. L. on the top
of the mountain ridge Northeast of the
Court House, and South of the highest
top of said mountain, and known as
Smiths View, and running thence a
straight line South seventy-four degrees
West TO the East bank of the French
Broad river, thence up the bank of said
river, passing the Iron Bridge and the
mouth of Town Branch to two large
| Sycamore trees on the East bank of said
| L., thence straight line North seventy
four degrees East to stake one hundred
feet East of the crest of the mountain
ridge, next West CT Rays Greek, then
parallel with top of said mountain ridge,
passing one hundred feet East of Beau
mont to stake one hundred feet East of
| the beginning, and thence to the begin
ming, supposed to be a mile from the
Court House North, South, Eas5 and
West.
The duties prescribed by ordinance fOr
the police force are numerous and their
surveillance extends over all territory
embraced in the city limits. The force
is almost self supporting. The city has
grown rapidly in the past few years, and
Asheville ought now to have a larger
force, the preservation of order and secur-
ity of property require it. Our police are
brave and vigilant, but owing to the nu-
merical weakness of the force-the beats
ale entirely too large-evil doels will
enjoy more or less immunity so long as
matters remain as they are. There should
be more men, and some of the force
should be mounted, if the laws are to be
enforced, and property protected.
THE STOCK LAW.

News> Observer report Of Monday

seven should almost entirely be
taken out from under the stock law.
These remain in statu quo, and the
other four, upon petition of a ma
jority of the voters of any of them,-
to the county commissioners, shall
have the right to vote upon the
question, and come out by majority
vote. This is the substitute of the
Senate Ebranch of the conference
committee offered as compromise
between the two sextremes, and
leaves tall the townships, except
three, just as the law of 1885 placed
them.
